We’ve included some clever ways to create hearts without requiring any specialist equipment, but there are brilliant heart-shaped utensils you can buy cheaply. It would be useful to have a set of heart-shaped pastry cutters, and a couple of recipes require heartshaped dishes, but you can exercise your artistic skills and shape your hearts freehand if you prefer.
Unless stated otherwise:
• All eggs are medium
• All spoon measurements are level
• All vegetables should be peeled

The rich, creamy filling and tart cherries perfectly balance these sweet, light-as-a-feather meringues.
Preheat the oven to 110°C/90°C fan/gas ½.
Drawing freehand or using a 6.5cm heart-shaped cutter as a template, draw 8 hearts on to 2 sheets of baking parchment. Turn the sheets over and lay them on 2 baking sheets. There’s no need to grease the paper as meringue will later be used to secure the corners.
Weigh a spotlessly clean bowl, then weigh the egg whites in it. Calculate their weight, double it and weigh that quantity of caster sugar into a separate bowl.
